The influence of sanitation on responses of life stages of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), was investigated in a pilot flour mill subjected to three, 24-h heat treatments by ...

Thermo-mechanical extrusion pretreatment for lignocellulosic biomass was investigated using soybean hulls as the substrate. The enzyme cocktail used to hydrolyze pretreated soybean hulls to fermentable sugars was optimized ...

A 3D transient heat, mass, momentum, and species transfer model for the stored grain ecosystem was developed using the finite element method. Hourly weather data such as ambient temperature and relative humidity, solar ...

The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), is the most important stored-product insect pest infesting rice (Oryza sativa L.) mills in the United States. Due to the phasing out of methyl ...

A mathematical equation that describes the void fraction as a function of location, bulk density at the surface,bulk density at the location of interest in the bed, maximum bulk density, bin geometry, friction properties ...

A discrete phase approach based on individual wheat kernel characteristics is needed to overcome the limitations of previous statistical models and accurately predict the milling behavior of wheat. As a first step to develop ...
